I often listen to music when I work. Honestly, music moves me... physically moves me... to create. The rhythm, the tones, the beat, these are all conduits for creative expression. There is magic in music that fuels the magic in all creative endeavors. Listening to music allows me to express myself in more ways than my hands allow me to express myself through the creation of jewelry or art. And I can do both simultaneously! It's literally double magic. Magic. There's no other word. So, I'm here to share with you some of my favorite musical inspirations. Enjoy!

LOVE "Take me to Church!" Heard it from a friend who did it in ASL (American Sign Language) and fell in love with his interpretation of it (he feels the beat when VERY loud - and says his neighbors just deal with it :-) ] I put it on repeat ... YAHOO

This is totally cool - I was just wondering what your playlist was and low and behold you wrote about it and shared it on your blog! As my mamma use to say: "Great minds think alike!"! :)
I love Florence and the Machine and Hozier! I also love listening to Agnes Obel's Aventine cd while weaving or painting! Thanks for sharing! I will check out your playlist!

Subconsciously music flows through my mind to my consciousness when creating.

Lana Del Rey has been one of my favorites lately when I sit down to create. Love, love, love "Young and Beautiful" (soundtrack song to The Great Gatsby)!
